Catering & Boarding Drinks

Our professional caterers can prepare food from a range of mouth-watering menus ranging from Canapés to hot or cold buffets and from afternoon teas to formal dinners. Take a look at our Catering Menu.

We can also supply a Welcome Drink for all of your guests as they step aboard your party boat; choose from a glass of wine, bucks fizz, cocktails, soft drinks and more. Take a look at our Welcome Drink list.

Finally, you can pre-order wines from our Banqueting Wine List to make your special event even more special. Take a look at our Wine List.

Entertainment

You can choose to keep your guests entertained in a variety of ways; we can arrange to have gaming tables on board if you would like to host your own floating casino night or we can source you a professional DJ with optional karaoke if you just want to let your hair down.

Alternatively, our band list comprises anything from Jazz to Swing, Country to Rock ‘n’ Roll. We will be happy to recommend a live band to suit your event. Take a look at our Band List. We can even source a close up magician to really surprise your guests. Or if you prepare a playlist in advance we can even plug you MP3 player into our PA as background music.

Decorations

We can dress the boat however you wish; helium balloons, floral displays, bunting or even ‘Just Married’ life rings and banners. If you want to have a Pirate Party we will source the decorations for you. Or if you supply your own we will happily dress the boat for you ready for your special event.

Booking and Availability

We can help you create your own bespoke cruise with a choice of boat, food, boarding drinks, entertainment and decorations. Impress your guests with cocktails and canapés or delicious dinner and drinks. Dance the night away or simply sit back and relax in the comfortable saloon or spacious top deck.
